Fadi on Deesch Papke assigned CEO of Porsche Middle East and Africa FZETo whom it may concernI would like to share our frustration in dealing with Porsche and Al Nabooda in the last 10 years!After our first Cayan for my wife back in 2008 and the current Macan 2015 we decided to write this letter to Porsche directly.The main objective of AL Nabooda is to overcharge their customers specially on spare parts and the denial on the warranty coverage even on small requests and when you complaint about the prices they offer a big discount! when I refused to renew the Cayan warranty they agreed to change the hand rest!By the end of 2017 we decided to sell our Cayan and move to the new Macan model and that was the biggest mistake!We have bought a Macan S 2015 from Al Nabooda after waiting for several months, from the first 2 months we got a notification on the dashboard that we need to top up the oil, we went to the service center and they did it for us without any explanation!We continued on this annoying practice every couple of months!Another issue in the car was the AC bad smell which Al Nabooda charged us to change the filter and do the cleaning which was not covered by the warranty!This week I went back again to renew the useless warranty without clear answer on the oil consumption except the Porsche cars consume oil!I have been living in Dubai for the last 23 years. I had Boxter, Cayman, Cayan, BMW, Mercedes, etc... and currently I drive Maserati Ghibli and I have never heard that a car consume oil every 1000 km and above. I drive my Maserati car for 20,000 km without toping up or changing the oil!They also called me this week to inform me that the brake pads needs to be changed and the price is AED 4,700 and when I complained suddenly the price went down to AED 3,500!Please allow me to share my frustration with Al Nabooda and my great experience with Al Tayar Motors since 5 years and the way they respect warranty agreements with amazing services.We also decided to sell the Macan and never come back to any brand under Al Nabooda!
